CONVERSATION? DISCUSSION? OR DEBATE? WHATS THE DIFFERENCE? by J Loren Norris

CONVERSATION? DISCUSSION? OR DEBATE? WHATS THE DIFFERENCE?

”Shout downs, verbal abuse, arguments and ‘the heckler’s veto’ are all means of stopping, quashing and avoiding conversations which have the power to bring about true change. Calm, responsible observation and compassionate awareness increase the leader’s ability to inject new life and longevity into a much needed conversation. Stay patient my friends.” J Loren Norris

LEADERSHIP REQUIRES COMMUNICATION...

LEADERS NEED TO SHIFT TO LISTEN ONLY MODE
At this point, most “type A” alpha leaders move into predator mode. They will attempt to become more dominant, more assertive, more aggressive. This will easily move from the verbal intensity to a physical altercation if someone doesn’t possess the skills and demeanor to de-escalate, concede and shift their response. From here, there is no “win” to be had only hurt feelings, lost respect and less cooperation next time.

A leader who can exhibit self control over their emotions, their need to be proved right and the fragility of their assumed or official authority has the power to bring the conversation back to life at another time. A leader who masters the skills and compassion to listen closely without argument to all the points being made by the dissenters will be well prepared to address grievances with real and palatable solutions in the near future.

This practice in leadership changes the story of everything. I call it #storypower. This is the impact and influence of respect and authority well applied.
